My friend Nigel leaves for the UK to start his TGO trip next week. He's planning on taking a SPOT communicator with him and having real-time updates of his progress available at his blog.
Check out Nigels TGO Map page for real-time progress.
It shows his 'planned' route, and all points checked-in by the Spot. If you zoom out of the UK and into Seattle, you can see Nigel has been wandering between Redmond and downtown Seattle over the last few days, and either he swam across Lake Washington or the SPOT isn't all that accurate 😉
I for one, will be watching like a hawk and living my life vicariously through Nigel and Lynn, while getting fat eating donuts & coffee at my desk at Cisco. 😉
Hope to bump into your friend at Braemar or Tarfside then.
The “swimming across Lake Washington” effect is due to the frequency the SPOT pings are sent out. You can see the timelogs at http://share.findmespot.com/shared/faces/viewspots.jsp?glId=0ytTGj9xDBKKcpanXz3SHkcpW62j5p4xc.
Donuts and coffee sounds fun – do you think I could dehydrate a box of Crispy Creams?
